Infant calming/sleep-aid device
An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.
1. A sleep sack attachment system for securing a sleep sack, the system comprising:
an attachment device configured to removably attach to the sleep sack to stably secure the sleep sack along a surface of a mattress, the attachment device comprising:
a lower portion having a lateral extending length and configured to be disposed beneath the mattress, the lower portion slidably extendible to adjust the lateral extending length of the lower portion;
first and second upper portions configured to be removably coupled to the sleep sack; and
first and second side portions extending generally in a direction perpendicular to the lateral extending length of the lower portion and connecting the respective first and second upper portions to the lower portion;
wherein a lateral adjustment of an extension of the lateral extending length of the lower portion adjusts lateral positions of the first and second side portions whereby the mattress fits between the first and second side portions.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further includes the sleep sack comprising a body for receiving an infant and wings that laterally extend from the body, wherein the first and second upper portions are configured to attach to an attachment mechanism positioned on each of the wings, wherein the first and second upper portions and the respective first and second side portions are slidably connected such that lateral positions of the first and second upper portions are adjustable independent of a lateral adjustment of the extension of the lower portion.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second upper portions and the respective first and second side portions are slidably connected such that lateral positions of the first and second upper portions are adjustable independent of a lateral adjustment of the extension of the lower portion.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second upper portions each comprise a clip configured to engage with an attachment mechanism of the sleep sack.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the system further includes the sleep sack, wherein the sleep sack comprises wings that extend laterally from a body of the sleep sack that is configured to receive an infant, and Wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a loop positioned on the wings.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second upper portions each comprise a loop configured to engage with an attachment mechanism of the sleep sack.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the system further includes the sleep sack, wherein the sleep sack comprises wings that extend laterally from a body of the sleep sack that is configured to receive an infant, and wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a clip positioned on the wings.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second upper portions extend laterally inward from the respective first and second side portions such that the first and second upper portions extend laterally above the lower portion.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first and second upper portions and the respective first and second side portions are slidably connected such that lateral inward positions of the first and second upper portions are adjustable independent of a lateral adjustment of the extension of the lower portion.
